For Lungelo

Donate a Pulse Oximeter Today

Lungelo died in his mother's arms. We want to make sure that doesn't happen again. So this Down syndrome awareness month, we are funding 300 pulse oximeters for vulnerable babies and kids, to help save a life.
Join the cause and donate today! Each one costs R579.

Every baby like Lungelo deserves a chance.
Just like Livvy.

the Brave Bag Project

Support at a Vulnerable Moment

A Brave Bag meets a parent at one of the hardest moments, the day they hear, “Your baby has Down syndrome.” Inside is comfort, hope, and connection. A hand-knitted soft toy, a message from another parent who’s walked the road and resources that turn fear into courage. When you sponsor a Brave Bag, you remind a new family that they’re not alone, that their child is deeply loved and that their story can be beautiful.
